The Potrero Nuevo Farm hopes to enrich peoples’ understanding of food production and the natural world. We are committed to sustainable agriculture and fair accessibility to food, environmental education and ecological land management.
Utilizing a 300-acre farm and wilderness property, we operate a farm dedicated to providing food grown in accordance with organic principles. Much of our food is sold to low-income community members at near-wholesale prices and surplus food is donated to local social service agencies and churches. Nutrition and cooking classes are also offered. Environmental education programs are offered to all populations with an emphasis on bringing low-income disadvantaged urban youth to the property to learn about food production and healthy eating and the natural world.
Through its farm operation and education programs, the Potrero Nuevo Farm aims to support everyone’s right to healthy, affordable food and to encourage and enable people to appreciate and protect their natural environment.
